MALAWI
The warm heart of Africa
It may be one of Africa's smallest countries but when it comes to adventure and exploration, Malawi has much to offer. From scenic mountain tops, vast grasslands and forests, and unspoiled game reserves, to Africa's third largest and most beautiful lake, Lake Malawi. Famed for its crystal-clear waters and abundance of tropical fish, Lake Malawi is a genuine divers’ paradise.
